We don't have the 3-martini lunches our parents' generation used as their steam valves. I take solace in the fact that Churchill was a well-known regular napper, and not just because he was older. Set the timer for 30 minutes, knock off, and it's a whole new day. And I celebrate the fact that I found a program which lets me play late 80s-early 90s videogames on my Mac, because letting my inner nerd out to (literally) play helps keep me sane.
